To hear different opinions on Patsy Pease from longtime fans is interesting. It's cool seeing how different people see the same actress. For me, I'm thrilled. When I first starting watching the show (and I started watching after seeing a commercial about Marlena and I was curious and got hooked. So Deidre actually hooked me!), Patsy Pease's Kimberly was someone I latched on to. I missed her when she wasn't featured on a certain day. I find her acting to be old school soap opera acting. OTT when it needs to be....ya can't say Patsy isn't feeling the material when she gets in that zone. It's like watching a firecracker hit a blaze and she shoots off. That's just how I'VE always seen it to be. I, like some others here, thought she put her heart soul and guts into that scene someone posted on her last run. There's no way it was easy for an actress to perform what should've been a years worth of story in less than a full episode but she did it! Welcome Home Patsy!!!! Stick around. Please.
